Lucas: Rapid Reactions

1. Given Carolina's scoring struggles this year, Sunday's game was about what you might have expected, as Virginia ground out a 56-47 win that dropped the Tar Heels to 1-1 in the league.

2. Virginia's second half spurt was keyed by a parade to the free throw line, as the Tar Heels struggled to avoid fouling jump shooters. The Wahoos took 19 free throws (making 14). That enabled them to stretch out their lead in a half when they shot 36.4 percent from the field.

3. As you probably guessed, the 18-point output in the first half was tied for the lowest in the Roy Williams era for a half.
